Risk Mitigation and the Organization

As outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-30, the foundation for the development of an effective configuration management program contains both the definitions and the practical guidance necessary for assessing and mitigating risks identified within IT systems.

The ultimate goal of such a system is to help organizations to better manage IT-related mission risks, which constitute the net negative impact of the exercise of vulnerabilities, considering both the probability and the impact of their occurrence.

Thus, as the process of identifying risk, assessing risk, and taking steps to reduce risk to an acceptable level, risk management is the critical driver in any effective configuration management program.
